This handheld, battery-operated
receiver can be utilized in the field to estimate signal
intensities of broadcast radio stations. Though not a calibrated
measurement device, it displays relative signal intensity in
dbu, which can be used for rough translation to millivolts per
meter (mV/m) in a given frequency range using an included
correlation chart.

It is also useful for measuring
AM-band noise before station installation to determine the
quietest frequency on which to broadcast. AM signal intensity is
displayed as a two-digit read-out on the lighted front panel LCD
display. Batteries are included and pre-inserted, so the unit
powers up on-band and ready to operate. Included are illustrated
instructions from us detailing procedures for measuring AM
signals and AM-band noise.

Assure yourself that your station never
exceeds FCC limits.

The SMR Receiver is the first device
of its kind capable of measuring and displaying AM signal levels
with a useful level of precision.

Further, Tom recommends, "It’s
important to have a means of monitoring, not only to make sure
your station complies with FCC limits but also so you can spot
adverse changes in your signal that could point to equipment
concerns within your station or its environment.”

Issues involving an antenna system, for example,
are much less expensive to correct sooner than
later, since they can affect electronic
components downstream.

Coviak advises, “Now
every operator can afford such a receiver, and
it should be part of the basic toolkit for their
station.”

We provide SMR
Receivers with all new radio station packages;
and they can be obtained separately, as well.

Note: The Signal Measurement
Radio Receiver is unshielded and its readings may be affected by
strong electromagnetic fields emanating from nearby antennas to
which the receiver is not tuned. Use the receiver for relative
signal measurements, such as, to prove a change in signal
intensity due to a an antenna or transmitter problem or to
compare background noise levels on various radio frequencies.
